With the advent of new media, some older forms such as newspapers and magazines are changing their shape and adapting to trends. Almost all publications have made their digital version. The daily publication of new articles in real-time has resulted in a high readership of such media. According to M. Vlainić's research on reporting in Jutarnji and Večernji list, the most frequently published articles use "children's emotional pain as a means of shockingly affecting readers and provoking sympathy, all to increase reading." Vlainic, 2012) The Constitution of the Republic of Croatia, as a basic legal act of the state, prescribes in Article 35 "Everyone is guaranteed the respect and legal protection of his personal and family life, dignity, reputation and honour." (Constitution of the Republic of Croatia NN85 / 2010). Notwithstanding the large number of laws that protect the rights of children, such as; General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Media Act, the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia and the Personal Data Protection Act sought to investigate whether these regulations and laws are being violated. This research aims to determine how often articles related to children are published on the Jutarnji.hr and Index.hr portals, especially in the case of tragic cases, violence or death. The main problematic question that is asked throughout the paper is: How often do digital versions of Croatian newspapers and portals publish children's data such as names, surnames, ages and photographs? The corpus of this research consisted of the texts of the two already mentioned Internet portals, which were monitored from 1 to 31 August 2019. During this period, all published articles were studied in which a large number of publications related to minor children were observed. In these articles, there was a regular violation of children's rights and privacy rights through the disclosure of personal data; whether it is the publication of the name, surname and age of the child and the minor. A child is defined as a person who has not reached the age of 18, and minors as persons after the age of 16, but before the age of 18. It has been noticed that this information is regularly presented on both portals - the identities of children, who should be protected, were published in almost every article.
